Next-generation IP demand-oriented networks are about getting more profits flowing through the pipe and maximizing existing plant infrastructure. To get there, broadband operators not only have to re-configure their network infrastructure, they also have to re-think the way the system needs to operate.

For example, instead of just building a fatter pipe, today's broadband operators need to make sure they are also building a smarter pipe, one designed to optimize bandwidth capacity and performance to efficiently transport next-generation voice, high-speed data, and video with on demand services – from source to consumption, through national, regional, and local delivery. By developing a full range of modular, interoperable access products and solutions, ARRIS is able to supply cable operators with increased capacity to grow and manage their network, while ensuring the scalability, flexibility, and reliability they require.
